While Financial Accounting is compulsory, Management Accounting
is not. However, organizations with excellent Management
Information Systems have a significant competitive advantage.
The first part focuses on the understanding of a company’s
‘bottom line’. A key part is to analyze it from a customer’s
perspective. Customer profitability analysis is an extremely useful
tool to add value to an organization without necessarily cutting
costs. Cutting costs is often a knee jerk reaction when a company
comes under pressure. It is seldom sustainable and has the

organization. Putting a measurement system in place so that
these intangibles can be managed is an essential part of modern
financial management.

Part 2 accounting and strategic management
The second part will be concerned with Strategic Management
Accounting, which is an evolving discipline that links accounting to
the strategy development process in organizations. For example
many organizations have realigned their strategy to address
responsible businesses practices. Corporate Social Responsibility
was once thought to give an organization a competitive advantage.
Today it is considered a competitive necessity. For example,
charitable donations written off as an expense in the Statement of
Financial Performance may in fact be a key value driver. The
course will examine how Value Drivers are identified and
what benefits they deliver.
Management accounting and control systems for strategic purposes

for too little. The course will discuss the most commonly applied
valuation tools.
The third part will pay more attention to the most widely used tools
to appraise the Investment decision. Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)
Analysis that works out the Net Present Value of an Investment
(NPV) is an essential tool for managers to appreciate. It is now the
most common valuation tool to value an entire enterprise. How we
forecast cash flows and measure the required rate of return (cost of
Capital, WACC, IRR) will all be discussed.
